Some people have questions about materials or older fillings. Others need a closer dental review. Find a relevant starting point below.

Questions about dental materials and holistic care deserve clear, evidence-based answers. These FAQs offer general information; an examination is necessary for personal advice.
No. Sound amalgam fillings generally should not be removed solely due to mercury concerns. Removal can take away healthy tooth structure and briefly raise exposure. Your dentist can check for damage, decay or other reasons before recommending treatment.
No. Saliva tests may measure oral microbes or other markers, but cannot diagnose gum disease by themselves. A dentist examines gum tissues and checks clinical signs. A test is useful only if its findings could add relevant information to the assessment.
Holistic dentistry considers health history and habits alongside oral findings, but cannot diagnose or treat unrelated systemic conditions. We explain the limits of dental tests and treatments. Medical symptoms should be assessed by a suitable healthcare professional.
